Summer Internships : A Summer Internship Opportunity Essay

As spring semester draws to a close each year, college kids begin to plan for their long summer months off. For some, this may be booking airfare to the Caribbean to spend a week lying on the beach, but for others this may be cleaning up resumes, filling out applications, and digging out your best suit to begin the search for a summer internship opportunity. Although this could lead to beginning a whole new life halfway across the country for 3 months, the experience is worth it in the end. Summer internships provide students with an invaluable educational opportunity while receiving college credit, gaining experiences within their field of study, and forming professional contacts.
Many summer internships allow students to receive college credit while working during the summer. This gives students more of a “hands on” opportunity. They are put in the direct setting where anything can happen at any time, so essentially, they are getting much more exposure to the field than they would from sitting in a lecture hall. According to an article on student internships, “Credit-bearing internships are very distinctive because they share common goals and elements with on-campus study including reading, writing, critical thinking, and problem solving” (Giles 1).

In the last month of my internship, however, the new practice area of pharmaceutical litigation was beginning to become fully functional…

The scenario happened during my recent summer internship program. I was asked by my colleague to do some research readings for his project since I was not busy at that time and I was quite free. Since he asked me politely to help him do the work, I just did the task for him. He also didn’t force me to do it for him and I`m willingly offered to help him. I knew that it was his responsibility to do the research, but I positively thought that I can get some output from doing the project. I did finished…

Some companies offer paid or unpaid internships, but it is up to undergraduates to choose which s/he will benefit from. I know that when I get my bachelors in Speech Pathology, I will be required to do an internship. Personally a paid internship will benefit me more for many reasons, but to any average person like myself these reasons would…

Internship last semester was not at all what I envisioned. While at internship I really didn’t do much. All I was really able to do was sit and observe. Emilie my supervisor was every stern when it came to observation. She would only let me interact with individuals when I had an assignment to do. She would interrupt sometimes and do everything herself. She is very good at her job and is a good person in general. She just isn’t so good at being a supervisor. She is just very controlling and likes…
